iPGCE Hong Kong Assessor Role

Job overview

Tes Institute is a leading provider of online and in-school teacher training and development courses. We have a wealth of experience in the education sector and our iPGCE is validated by HKCAAVQ and registered with the EDB in Hong Kong (252988). In July 2022, we received an overall Ofsted grade of ‘Good’ for our high-quality curriculum, collaborative work across partnerships and pathway tutoring. We have been reaccredited to continue to deliver initial teacher training in the UK and overseas after September 2024.

About the role

We are currently looking for iPGCE Assessors to support our iPGCE students located in Hong Kong. 

Our Assessors are instrumental to the success of our course through their implementation of the teaching practicum module that all students must complete in order to meet EDB requirements for Teacher Registration. 

Assessors will be required to conduct assessment visits, observe teaching and meet with the student and school-appointed mentor. Assessors write reports following each visit which will include a lesson observation record, areas of teaching strengths and targets for development of practice. There is also an expectation that the Assessor will quality assure the mentoring and offer guidance too, in collaboration with the iPGCE team at Tes Institute. 

Work is issued on a consulting basis and rates of pay are competitive.
